Fr Rory Writes:

This time last year we received from Bishop Richard a leaflet titled “The Word Who is Life”.  This was given to be our focus for preparation for life in our diocese in 2030.

Many parishes have been very effected by the structures for ministry because of the reduced number of masses and priests, with the expectation of more to come.  We have not experienced this as something that has come about because of the situation in the diocese, but because of the state of my health during the past year.  Please God, my health is on the mend, and hopefully with the return of my driving license we may have new opportunities. 

A big and sincere thank you to the persons who help with our Children’s Liturgy.   They deserve all the support that we can give them.  We have lost some great people who contributed so much, and so they are a great loss to us.  With God’s help; through our prayer and  commitment, we will receive God’s grace to be active witnesses to what God’s help can do in our weaknesses.  May almighty God turn all things to good, may we be willing to forgive, to love and support one another.  May God bless you all through this year of Our Devine Lord 2020.
